The one line to keep

Come into contact with the power that meets every requirement.

Take up your position, relax completely, and drop the last anxiety about results. Then come into a realisation of your unity with the universal principle: your ability to think is your ability to act upon it and bring it into manifestation. Haanel insists on the equality inside this: you have exactly the same potential ability as anyone who ever lived, because all are parts of one whole. The difference is degree, never kind.

Why this matters — Part 12

Hopelessness is usually a comparison injury: everyone else got the power, the luck, the wiring. Haanel closes that door with his own hand. Potential ability is not distributed unequally — expression of it is. Whatever your background, whatever the year has taken from you, you are not working with inferior equipment. You are working with an unemployed instrument. That is a very different problem, and a solvable one.

Study question for this sublevel

Haanel put a review question at the end of every part. Answer out loud first — the recall is what moves it into memory.

120. How is wisdom secured?

By concentration; it is an unfoldment; it comes from within.

Haanel's own words — points 28–28

Quoted exactly from The Master Key System (1912, public domain). The translation above is ours; this is his.

This week go to the same room, take the same chair, the same position as previously. Be sure to relax, let go, both mentally and physically. Always do this; never try to do any mental work under pressure. See that there are no tense muscles or nerves, that you are entirely comfortable. Now realize your unity with omnipotence. Get into touch with this power. Come into a deep and vital understanding, appreciation, and realization of the fact that your ability to think is your ability to act upon the Universal Mind, and bring it into manifestation, realize that it will meet any and every requirement, that you have exactly the same potential ability which any individual ever did have or ever will have, because each is but an expression or manifestation of the One, all are parts of the whole, there is no difference in kind or quality, the only difference being one of degree. "Thought cannot conceive of anything that may not be brought to expression. He who first uttered it may be only the suggester, but the doer will appear." - Wilson.
